in Introduce Yourself
Hi Everyone-

I am a soon to be 28 year old stay at home mom of two (two and a half years and 4 months). Now that I am done having kids I have decided to start putting myself first for a change every once in a while :) starting with my health. I joined MPF about a month ago and have lost nine pounds already! I feel great and love having a new energy and zest for life. Now I just need some friends to help me stay motivated as it's not always an easy journey to conquer alone. I would love to meet some new people and keep my motivation going by hearing from some of those that have had success with the program. I would also like to start the Couch to 5K program if anyone would like to do it with me! I am currently in week 3 of ripped in 30 and am hoping to start 30DS when I am done at the end of the month. If anyone is interested in doing 30DS with me starting in March let me know :)

    Hello, I am also turning 28 this year with 2 boys (4 and 1). I'm on level 3 of 30 day shred and hoping to start ripped in 30 the last week of feb. I am also going to train for a half-marathon which i am running in may. i haven't ran since last november so i have to get back in the groove.

    feel free to add me!

    You can add me. I'm always looking for support and encouragement too., who isn't? I'm gonna look into that couch to 5k. I would love to start running but I'm afraid I may have waited too late to start. Won't know till I try. Good luck.

    That's great to hear! I also hate running but am hoping to accomplish a few goals this summer, one of them being running a 5K! So hopefully I will feel the same way about the C25K program. I plan on starting the first week of March so I'll keep updating my progress! Thanks for the response!

    The program is only two months long and it's never too late to start anything! You can do it, I'm starting the first week in March. Let me know if you want to join me for support/motivation!

    Nine pounds is amazing! Great job :) I work with middle school kids as a Spanish teacher. I'm working on acknowledging my nerves and sadness -- at the moment I'm in the habit of turning to food. I would love to have a support network of other people I can support and who are willing to support me to! I just recently purchased the Insanity DVD's and want to work it into my schedule soon. Be well!
